Funny Images

steemit users love funny pics.

But as a business, you should always remember your audience. They might not appreciate endless streams of random LOL photos. Sure, the images may get you some viral sharing -- but in the end, too many of them could do more harm than good.

So how should you use funny images?

Let's take this example of a funny egg photo.

If you're a restaurant with a fan page, this image could be a good opportunity to crack a joke about eggs (pun intended).

Or maybe you could use the image as a jumping off point for a story. For example, do you have a story of related to your business or niche that can be related to a poor broken egg?

For me, as a social media specialist, I'd talk about that one business owner who didn't implement social media into their marketing -- and this is what happened to his business. :)

That's just an example, obviously. But my point is if you're creative, you can always find a clever way to relate a funny image to your niche.

Not necessarily. Cat photos are definitely popular on the web -- and I’m not against using them. But you need to use them wisely.

For example, the image to the right is funny -- but a bit obnoxious. It's an example of what's out there -- but it might not be the best post for a business.

The key here is moderation. Don't just post a bunch of funny images on your page with no rhyme or reason behind it.

For example, if you are a dentist and you're posting nothing but cat pics all the time -- people will probably start to doubt your authority, and might even unlike your page.

So use funny images wisely.
